Listen to the Episode Below: So you’ve finally decided you can’t do everything yourself. It’s time to grow. You put time and effort into recruiting the right people. Then –WHAM!–they up and leave. And you’re back to Square 1. So how on Earth is your business supposed to scale? In this episode, human resources expert (and former business owner) Sal Gervasi shares his insights into options for keeping top talent and how you can fix the systemic leaks that drain them away. How Turnover Gets in the Way of Scaling… Learn what motivates your employees as individuals. They aren’t always motivated by money.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.
With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.
And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.
I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
